It's A Wonderful Life 1949

I fine tuned my search on the LIFE archive and focused on the Loomis Dean 1949 motorcycle pictures. It seems he did an in depth expose of motorcycle culture around Los Angeles in 1949.
Here are some I have not posted before.

All of this and no Harley-Davidsons. What is the story with that? Did only LA cops ride Milwaukee back then?
